Exegesis
The coordinating ve- introduces vehamet {וְהַמֵּת | wə-ha-mêt} ‘and the dead one’, concluding with yihyeh-lo {יִהְיֶה־לוֹ | yi-hyêh-lo} ‘shall be to him’. The parallel structure underscores the legal pattern of restitution followed by property transfer characteristic of casuistic law in Exodus.
In context — Exodus 21:34
The owner of the pit must pay silver to the animal’s owner, and the dead animal will be his.
